ARGGH!!! HERITAGE HACK IN MY PAPER

This is disappointing. A hack writes about oil consumption and global warming and makes a classic mistake and still gets published. Here's the title, author and link:
Costly 'Climate Security' bill would do little good
By Ben Lieberman

Arizona Daily Star

Ben Lieberman is a senior policy analyst in the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank. Contact him through www.heritage.org

Here's the classic mistake:
But there is growing evidence that that the warming threat has been exaggerated. Indeed, 2008 is shaping up to be a cooler year than 2007, and some scientists are predicting that this countertrend will last for a while.


One can't use a single data point to deny the validity of the thousands and thousands of data points that support man-made global warming. Lieberman is either stupid or dishonest. In either case, his opinion has no merit.
